(FAMILIAR DREAD) “REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE.” A silent scream echoes, which suddenly drops the dread that engulfs the entire world and book that they are all running and chasing one after the other. Silent but not deadly, it comes running at a seasonable speed and slaps the dread right inside the mind of the three. “You are never a lone girl, but a devil yourself, Alliah.” The voice taunted and echoed inside Alliah’s mind. Which is slowly getting on her nerves and she wanted to scream out of it. For it is shaking her out of her sane mind and pushing her into the insanity that screaming that she truly is. “Your wish and your desire. Turn the page and enter that dreaded world, JK.” JK wanted to slam his head on the wall just to get the voice out of his head. The words that it is whispering inside his mind, are screaming the truth of who he truly is. While there is something from deep inside of him that is trying to break free and asking him to remember.
(REPETITION) “SUCH perfect play and fear.” Arthur smiles cunningly. After sending the message and the terror that at the very moment and seconds of time, everyone and by means all the characters in HIS book and the one HE deems as the pieces of HIS chess game receives the dread that he gave. “Tsk!” Winona and Emie click their tongue in disappointment and anger. Arthur is currently having so much more fun than what he is supposed to do and comes here in the first place. “That is enough, Arthur!” Emie screams, sending her disapproval telepathically. As Winona is holding onto a spell that she secretly casts for the sake of all of them and preventing the surge of mana that Alliah, Kyle, and JK are about to burst out for. “Tsk! I am just having fun.” Arthur’s hard-headed nature while glancing beside and unnoticed by the Elite’s adviser, yet the chimera that is wearing Haruna’s clothes which JK made himself. “I SWEAR.” With a deep breath
(COUNTING DAYS) “DON’T worry everything will be alright, I promise you that.” The gentle words that she receives, along with the warm smile that she always gets from the young master of the household that her lone mother works for. “Thank you, young master.” She speaks shyly and softly, which the young master that she calls chuckles, taps her head gently like she is his little sister, and said. “No need to thank me for anything, besides you are a part of the family and you do not need to call me young master.” His comfort, but for the little girl who had nothing, but her mother. This gesture and warmth are inviting and addicting. A kind of addiction that she appreciates, but at the same time she wanted to own and truly have even though everyone else thought that it wasn’t right. “Then what should I call you?” She innocently asks. Hoping for nothing, yet something inside of her is screaming for that certain thing that she just wasn’t sure what
(DWINDLING TRUST) “YOU will help big brother no matter what, right?” The request she could never say no to. The plead from the young master who became his big brother that she gladly agrees. Even though she innocently didn’t know the consequence and what was in store for her in doing so. “Well then, shall we?” He reaches for his hand and she gladly takes it. Holding each other’s hand as the both of them are the only companion and allies of each other. Everything unfolded in that one stormy night, as the blood, dread, and all missing people are cases unsolved. Where no one ever suspects the two children of the house of Baron. “What did you do to my daughter?” Almost hysterical, but more like a situation where one lone mortal is fighting against a devil in disguise. Her mother pleaded with her big brother, yet JK could only show a menacing grin that everyone who sees is left with the dread and truth of a death sentence. “Would you do the honor?”
(THE FATE AS A CHIMERA) “MOM, DAD, BIG BROTHER.” The young master is crying. Devastated and alone when his entire family left him all alone. “Say, you will do everything that big brother will tell you, right? JK?” He remembers his big brother’s words, like it all, just happened yesterday and that everything about the accident and tragedy never happened. “Anything.” He whispers, crying his heart out while looking at the dark corner of his room where he is currently isolating himself from anyone. But then. “Big brother?” A gentle voice echoes, that gentle tone that he knew and was very much familiar with. “Do not worry, everything will be alright.” Just when and where did he hear those words? And of who did those words originally came? “Right.” He whispers to himself softly with a bit of a cunning tone. As he remembers that the person who said those words is him. “I will always be here for you, big brother.”
(THE ADDED INGREDIENTS) “STILL not enough!” JK screams from disappointment and anger. The young master of the mansion of the Baron sacrificed so much just to achieve his desire. “You need to be perfect!” He pins that thought and words toward his newly created doll and chimera. “Do not worry, everything will be alright. I will do everything of what you desire, big brother.” His chimera who was once a pure little girl assures him. “Then let us undergo another experiment, shall we?” A smile wide and twisted draws on his face. “Gladly.” His chimera replies with pure excitement and hunger. The hunger that came forth from the sin of gluttony that he planted. Hunger is not for flesh, wealth, or status, but for power and ability unlike no other. “Well then, let us try infusing you more with some pure beasts.” He laughs, and quickly set the pentagram with the few beasts in every circled corner of the inverted star. With his chime
(THAT DEFINATE BEGINNING) “YOUR master, creator and father.” His voice echoes, as he greeted his perfectly created puppet, doll and chimera. With a huge grin that slowly resembles a Cheshire like one. He snaps his finger as his creation and puppet bows down. “I your loyal servant, doll and creation will serve only you and you alone, my master, father and creator.” The pledge of her loyalty. With the grin that he still draws on to his face, he whispers the name that his creation should be calling him. “Your master, creator and father, address me by my name. JK.” More than willing, and glad to dwell into that command. She looks up and smiles, calling the name of her beloved creator. “My master and creator, my father, JK.” “Excellent.” The wind then blew the coldest one, an eerie tone and a whispering dread. Through the darkness and within the cracks, JK instructed. “In the near future, one of these days. One holder will be born.” He
(THE THOUGHTS INSIDE HER HEAD) “DANIELA.” The name that does not picks her interest, yet it is the name and the person her master, creator, and father is obsessed with. The one that she neither hates, nor loves, but the person that’s knocking something inside her heart that she just couldn’t figure out what. “What is it to you that everyone is drawn by?” She asks, watching the Maiden in secret through her form as a black cat with a sapphire blue eye on the right side and the left one in a yellow color. Both with a dash of crimson that you could only notice is you look at her eyes closed and in an inch. “Daniela!” The known ones call out to their protected and favorite girl. Surrounding the Maiden with their pure smile and comfort, yet are all observant of everything around. “They love her so much and at the same time they are all protective of her.” She whispers, observing from a fair distance while she concealed her mana and acts naturally as
(BUTTERFLIES)“THE butterflies have been sent. Everyone should have received it by now, right, Chie?”HE asks in a bit of a threatening tone. Sitting perfectly to his throne and tapping the helm of his chair with his right pointer finger. With a drawn sinister smile and the Mistress of Time standing beside him, the meeting place are all set and perfectly placed with the chairs that resembles the chess board.“Just as you wish for it.”The Mistress smile that is equally threatening and hiding something that she prefers to keep like a souvenir. With the grand clock ticking and finally to its very last seconds. A bit of a change from the past are corrected. Now presenting it in the way that is better than before and too perfect to be told to be a fault.Then.“Here I thought that you wouldn’t came.”“Tsk! I’ve been thinking about it and I realize that I couldn’t miss this for the world and books.”An echoing footstep sounded. With the smile and the sinister one that they both knew and re
(BOOKS)“STOP!”The protest and utter denial of Alliah for the truth that is presented right in front of her. The words and the said facts shake her entire world and currently put her into the deepest darkest corner that she has ever been in her entire life. “No, it can’t be. I am not her. I am me. I am!”She screams in frustration, and wide eyes, and expresses the kind of fear that is a mix of horror and surprise. All for the reality and the truth that she doesn’t want to believe, she thinks that she didn’t deserve it, and all along is an utter lie. “Open your eyes and face the truth. You are not who you think you are, Alliah.”“No, no, no. It can’t be.”Tears fall inconsolably from her eyes. Her body trembles with fear, and the knocking words and reality that she couldn’t escape from somewhat pulled her deeper into that demise. She wanted to escape, she wanted to run away and think that this is all nothing, but a nightmare.“That’s right! This is all but a nightmare, everything of
(ROSES)“YOU do not need to say anything anymore Pauleen. I understand and know my sin from the past that ruined our relationship. I should have accepted the fact that he chooses you, so, for this life and this final loop. I promise to stay by your side.”“Jade!”Overwhelmed with joy and relief that Pauleen felt. She hugs her sister tight, after reminiscing and the very first loop where their relationship breaks and crumbles into ruins. Didn’t go through any bumps and cracks, nor Jade felt the excruciating pain of remembering the past loops. Christopher is true to his words when everything on the side of the sisters is done and in peace. Or is it?”“I see that you came with Gen.”“I guess, from now on things will change between us?”“A bit, for right now we are a family and to think about it, I am your aunt.”A little teasing, and giggling about the present and the future that they will be facing. A light atmosphere that Pauleen couldn’t help but be more than glad of receiving. Now th
(VIENNA BLOOD)“I have the hunch, but I didn’t expect to see you here, Honey.”“So, do I, Gen.”Their bland, but casual greeting. They’re not so usual encounters, but both know who they are in this world and what role they are playing. Honey recognizes Gen and not in the way that always starts with a fight. Gen immediately knew that it already came to Honey’s ears that her little game of guarding and spying over JK had ended. “Then I guess you being here and without any ominous aura and a façade like one, means that JK already knew about you and everything that you have done since the very beginning.”“Well, I am not his guide in the first place, nor he is one of the original holders in this book and world. I am only attracted to him because he had the essence of my birth father. Besides, it is my task to be spied and pretend that I am loyal to him with my utter disgusting desire. But right now that almost everything is set, I came here to ask for that thing, Honey.”“I see.”Couldn’
(CHALK NIGHTMARE)“DEATH, DIE, THE DEAD.”An eerie song is echoing all around the place and under the bright full moon. The melody of the song will bring chills down anyone’s spine. Making all the gentle animals around hide in fear, while the owl coos and the ravens are screaming. In that not-so-dead night, Gennivier is singing the song while marking the points and the necessary corners in the middle of the biggest pentagram and where they are about to open the gate and fulfill the end most perfectly. “Are you done, Gen?”“Please. I know that you miss me and all, but just wait for a moment for I am almost done, my dear sister, Pauleen.”She still addresses the original holder of God Aries, of this world and book in the same way as she used to do. Looking at her with those envious eyes, and an untrusting heart that she is still working on correcting. The reality will always stay the same, for even though she is one of the directions that HE is a bit proud to be HIS puppet. She still h
(A SMALL LIGHT)“TSK! Do not make me laugh, Bianca.”“Tsk!”Still he is being stubborn, protecting and not accepting anything from what he just saw even though it was the damn real thing and his inner consciousness is screaming at him to believe. Bianca couldn’t help but be in dismay. Angered and wanted to curse Aaron deeper and worse to the core. But she is still thinking of the civil way to do things. Calming her nerves and composing herself. Looks back at him and tries again for the third time.“Just what is it that you do not want to understand Aaron? You who is one of the holders that should and will always protect the Shrine Maiden shouldn’t be stubborn like this. No matter how hard you try to convince yourself because you are blinded by love. The Alliah that you know is only the half, the yang of her whole who also had its own dark past, while the yin had the biggest tragedy that was used and played by the Supreme One and becomes, Beatrice.”“Beatrice? Damn! Now it is Beatrice?
(A DUEL IN THE MIST OF INSANITY)SILENCE is eminent, that even the wind is somehow frightened in some way to blow its presence. The night is too quiet and not a single insect an be seen or to be heard. Everyone seems hiding for something, with everything is like in a mid of chaos. In that small garden in the residence of the Gomez, footsteps suddenly echo. It’s sound that is menacing and screaming a dark warning that no one even the smallest living thing will dare to see, face and make a sound in front of it.Arthur looks back, drawing a confident and a bit of a mocking smile and welcomes his guess.“So, you decided to come and face me after all, Kyle.”“And I can see that you are waiting for my arrival, Arthur.”The challenge that they both know that they wanted and at the same time not. The unnecessary but necessary thing to do, and a contradiction that they both know that is stupid, yet it is the only way to prove their strengths and wits to one another.“You do know that there is
(LABYRINTHAL CORRIDOR)“THE destruction for this loop and this sixth is about to begin.”Words that she didn’t want to hear. The fact that she needed to face and swallow up and whole for it is the reality and the written plot that was the plan all along and from the very beginning that they wouldn’t, couldn’t, and will never escape from. “Everything is settled on your parts, am I right, JK, Kyle?”“Tsk! It’s long been done.”“Everything is set on my part.”The confirmation and the exchange of assurance and confidence that JK and Kyle expresses. Amuses, no, giving the hell lot of confidence towards Him. But without knowing what had happened in between the loop of six, the secrets and the deals that took place are one hell of an exciting roller coaster ride that Kyle made and secretly had. All for his benefit and nothing more but for him. “Kyle.”“Just like what I have said, it’s long been done. I did my part perfectly according to our deal. I set everything up without any flaws and r
(THE QUEEN SHALL BE SAVED)“BE prepared, for what you are about to see will shatter you to pieces, Aaron.”Damn, that was cruel and dark. Deeper and more menacing than Aaron had experienced and had known so far. He holds his breath for a few seconds, then coughs multiple times while covering his mouth and somehow chocking about something that Bianca knew that it is all due to what he had seen so far. “Had enough? Did you understand what I am trying to say and make you, Aaron?’“Enough? Are those for real?”The in denial that is screaming inside his mind and for who he is in totality. More than being stubborn about the truth and the facts that were just presented to him, Aaron still believes that the Alliah that he met back then is not the one Bianca just showed her. “I didn’t expect that you will be this foolish because of love big brother Aaron. You above all people that I know who had the greatest sense of justice and smart enough to know what is right from wrong.”“Then, you didn
